General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I think this will fizzle out and go nowhere but: should this split the red vote who stands to gain? Tories (they've a long way to go to win back trust ), Lib Dems (something about Student Loans making them the only party in living history to have reneged on a manifesto promise), SNP (possibly in Scotland they could be back), Greens (they're too right wing for Corbyn's followers 😆).... That leaves: Reform. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

I actually think a hung parliament under those circumstances. Great for confidence in the country.

Sorry. But if you plan to vote labour next election. You are not a red voter.

I mean I love your confidence 😜, but parties like Labour and the Tories are too broad a churches to make that sweeping generalisation.

Labour plp and the leadership. Who is at the end of it who you vote for.

Is not in any way left wing anymore. The shit their doing is more blue then red.

The members may be broad. But the party no longer pay any attention to them.
